Profile: Mike Baxter is one of those 'tweeners' that never showed enough power, speed or glove to stick at any position. At 27 years old, he's going to attend spring training with the Mets to try to make the Major League team without any options remaining. (Eno Sarris)

Profile: The 28-year-old Baxter has already carved out a place in Mets' history with his wall-crashing, shoulder-wrecking catch during Johan Santana's no-hitter. He also produced a .263/.365/.413 (117 wRC+) line with three homers and five steals in 211 plate appearances last season. Baxter will again serve as a left-handed platoon bat in New York's weak outfield alignment, a role for which he's well-suited (career 123 wRC+ against righties). Even if he gets 450 plate appearances in 2013, his fantasy value will stem almost exclusively from his batting average (BABIP fingers crossed!) and OBP given the general lack of power and speed. Baxter's a fantasy spare part who fits best as waiver fodder than as a draft day target. (Mike Axisa)

The Quick Opinion: Baxter, 28, is in line to receive a good amount of playing time next season as the left-handed hitting half of an outfield platoon, but his lack of power and speed means his fantasy value depends entirely on his batting average and OBP. Unfortunately neither is anything special.

Profile: Baxter finds himself in sunny Los Angeles this season after signing a one-year deal with the Dodgers, but that doesn't mean his outlook is any brighter. He figures to slot into a bench spot with the Dodgers as a pinch-hitter against righties and occasional spot-starter. The 29-year-old can't hit lefties at all, with a career .445 on-base plus slugging against them, and his .708 career OPS against right-handers isn't enough to warrant even a platoon role on a team with outfield depth like Los Angeles. (Scott Strandberg)

The Quick Opinion: Baxter will likely only see significant playing time if both Carl Crawford and Andre Ethier get hurt, and even then he won't produce enough to be fantasy relevant in even the deepest of leagues.
